SONG PREMIERE: Hex Volt - "Devour All"

As the old saying goes, two’s company and three is a crowd, with Hex Volt,
never has a truer word been spoken and with just four strings, three drums, two
men, and one garage, this Arizona double team deliver maximum sonic savagery
with minimum mincing about, these guys kick more ass than Van Damme. Drummer
Jim Knapp and bassist / vocalist Chris Burns meld punk urgency and abruptness,
with sludgy amp-worshipping excess. The resultant mix brings to mind bands like
Motorhead,
Black Flag,
Helmet,
and The
Melvins.

Since
their formation in 2014, Hex Volt
have been peeling the paint off walls in every dive bar in Phoenix and released
their debut CD “Civilization Upholding
Beasts” in late 2015.Wasting little
time since their debut, Hex Volt are set to release their follow-up, “The Best Hex Volt EP Ever”.The album is a collection of 5 tracks that
again assaults your eardrums with an infusion of metal, punk and sludge, but
with added benefit of soaring choruses and catchy rhythms. Prepare to be slain, as we premiere Hex Volt's "Devour All"!
